Genres: Avant-garde / Experimental
Rating:
An international collection of well-known directors contributed to this compilation film, each fashioning a short film inspired by an aria from a famous opera. The approaches vary broadly, from the playful abstraction of Jean-Luc Godard's segment, which illustrates Armide with exercising body-builders, to the more literal approach of Franc_Roddam, who transports Tristan und Isolde's story to modern-day Las Vegas. A particular stand-out is Julian_Temple's take on Rigoletto, which recasts Verdi as the accompaniment to a contemporary Southern California sex farce. Judd Blaise, Rovi
